You should let me upload the pictures I took of the Yugo to that album. It'd be faster than email.

Sister car to the Tredia.
The Beadia, however, never made it past the focus group stage...

Is there a story behind the building ... or build diary?
I like it ... I want one ... I have the land, just not the money or time!

I can tell you that Matt Lee (a great friend) helped me a lot. Without him it never would have come together. You already know where the trusses came from. The perlins and gerts (is that right) are just 2x4's I got at Lowe's. The sheeting on it came from a building that had to be taken down in my hometown; I gave $.25/sheet for it and still have quite a bit left. There were many holes to fill, but I used fiberglass patches and they seem to work fine. I did all the wiring. The lights came from one of those truckload sales; 9 electronic ballast lights plus my bench light was $100. The panel was a gift from Matt Lee for my birthday last year. The garage door was an ebay find for $550. The real expense was the concrete. I have (IIRC) 31 yards in that 30x30 pad. I have less than $6500 in the structure. It just took me a long time to build it.

Looks great but you might have to move the lift a couple of feet forward for some extra clearance with bigger cars, no?

I am planning to use an assymetric 2-post lift. I measured my buddy's lift (in relation to the walls and floors) for fitment.
